Who'S the Blonde That Married What'S-His-Name? by Lenore Skenazy
Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon meets The Book of Useless Information via Mad Libs in this fun new twist on classic trivia games. WHO'S THE BLONDE THAT MARIED WHAT'S-HIS-NAME whose last name sounds like a BIRD, but then they split, and she was in that SUPER-HIP MOVIE that totally revived the career of the DANCING SCIENTOLOGIST before he played a woman in that MUSICAL by the FUNY BALTIMORE ECENTRIC? The answer's on the tip of my tongue Everyone's been there-groping for a name or a title and then, in desperation, using roundabout phrases and weird associations in a frantic effort to remember the ENGLISH LADY who wrote all those mysteries, like the ONE ON THE TRAIN with that BELGIAN DETECTIVE and whenever you play that BOARD GAME with the knife in the conservatory and the gun in the billiard room and that COLONEL, it feels like you're in one of her books? These tongue-tipper moments affect everyone. Now they can be put to good use with this innovative pop culture game that will help trivia buffs and useless-information fans remember all the things they didn't even realize they'd forgotten.
Emily Bronte is an English novelist and social critic, best known for -- Oh! About the author of this book. Sorry! Lenore Skenazy has been a columnist since before she was born. She spent 14 years at the New York Daily News and another two at The New York Sun. She even wrote a bit for Mad Magazine, and a whole lot for Cracked. (Note: She did not write for crack. People always mis-hear that.) After she penned a column about letting her 9-year-old ride the subway alone, she found herself in a media firestorm -- which beats finding yourself in a real firestorm, hands down. She went on to found the book, blog and movement Free-Range Kids. Nonetheless, she doesn't dwell on parenting issues here, because even parenting gurus get sick of talking about what age your kid can go to the public restroom unaccompanied. Lenore lives in New York City with her family and invites you to visit. For real. She's stuck at home all day, so drop a line! Lskenazy@yahoo.com.
